  This enum is used to report information about monotonicity of function

  Monotonicity is defined only for Item* trees that represent table
  partitioning expressions (i.e. have no subqueries/user vars/dynamic parameters
  etc etc). An Item* tree is assumed to have the same monotonicity properties
  as its corresponding function F:
 
  [signed] longlong F(field1, field2, ...) {
    put values of field_i into table record buffer;

  NOTE
  At the moment function monotonicity is not well defined (and so may be
  incorrect) for Item trees with parameters/return types that are different
  from INT_RESULT, may be NULL, or are unsigned.
  It will be possible to address this issue once the related partitioning bugs
  (BUG#16002, BUG#15447, BUG#13436) are fixed.
 
  The NOT_NULL enums are used in TO_DAYS, since TO_DAYS('2001-00-00') returns
  NULL which puts those rows into the NULL partition, but
  '2000-12-31' < '2001-00-00' < '2001-01-01'. So special handling is needed

  The lifetime of an Item class object is often the same as a relational

  it may also be generated for an optimized statement and thus be valid
  only for one execution.
 
  For Item objects with longer lifespan than one execution, we must take
  special precautions when referencing objects with shorter lifespan.
  For example, TABLE and Field objects against most tables are valid only for
  one execution. For such objects, Item classes should rather reference
  Table_ref and Item_field objects instead of TABLE and Field, because
  these classes support dynamic rebinding of objects before each execution.
  See Item::bind_fields() which binds new objects per execution and
  Item::cleanup() that deletes references to such objects.
 
  These mechanisms can also be used to handle other objects with shorter
  lifespan, such as function references and variable references.

                   OUT  The same but for the "F(x) $CMP$ F(const)" comparison
 
    DESCRIPTION
      This function is defined only for unary monotonic functions. The caller
      supplies the source half-interval
 
         x $CMP$ const
 
      The value of const is supplied implicitly as the value of this item's
      argument, the form of $CMP$ comparison is specified through the
      function's arguments. The call returns the result interval
 
         F(x) $CMP2$ F(const)
 
      passing back F(const) as the return value, and the form of $CMP2$
      through the out parameter. NULL values are assumed to be comparable and
      be less than any non-NULL values.
 
    RETURN
      The output range bound, which equal to the value of val_int()
        - If the value of the function is NULL then the bound is the

    SYNOPSIS
      val_str()
      str   an allocated buffer this or any nested Item object can use to
            store return value of this method.
 
    NOTE
      Buffer passed via argument  should only be used if the item itself
      doesn't have an own String buffer. In case when the item maintains
      it's own string buffer, it's preferable to return it instead to
      minimize number of mallocs/memcpys.
      The caller of this method can modify returned string, but only in case
      when it was allocated on heap, (is_alloced() is true).  This allows
      the caller to efficiently use a buffer allocated by a child without
      having to allocate a buffer of it's own. The buffer, given to
      val_str() as argument, belongs to the caller and is later used by the
      caller at it's own choosing.
      A few implications from the above:
      - unless you return a string object which only points to your buffer
        but doesn't manages it you should be ready that it will be
        modified.
      - even for not allocated strings (is_alloced() == false) the caller
        can change charset (see Item_func_{typecast/binary}. XXX: is this
        a bug?
      - still you should try to minimize data copying and return internal
        object whenever possible.
 
    RETURN
      In case of NULL value or error, return error_str() as this function will
      check if the return value may be null, and it will either set null_value
      to true and return nullptr or to false and it will return empty string.
      If value is not null set null_value flag to false before returning it.

  /*
    Returns string representation of this item in ASCII format.
 
    SYNOPSIS
      val_str_ascii()
      str - similar to val_str();
 
    NOTE
      This method is introduced for performance optimization purposes.
 
      1. val_str() result of some Items in string context
      depends on @@character_set_results.
      @@character_set_results can be set to a "real multibyte" character
      set like UCS2, UTF16, UTF32. (We'll use only UTF32 in the examples
      below for convenience.)
 
      So the default string result of such functions
      in these circumstances is real multi-byte character set, like UTF32.
 
      For example, all numbers in string context
      return result in @@character_set_results:
 
      SELECT CONCAT(20010101); -> UTF32
 
      We do sprintf() first (to get ASCII representation)
      and then convert to UTF32;
 
      So these kind "data sources" can use ASCII representation
      internally, but return multi-byte data only because
      @@character_set_results wants so.
      Therefore, conversion from ASCII to UTF32 is applied internally.
 
 
      2. Some other functions need in fact ASCII input.
 
      For example,
        inet_aton(), GeometryFromText(), Convert_TZ(), GET_FORMAT().
 
      Similar, fields of certain type, like DATE, TIME,
      when you insert string data into them, expect in fact ASCII input.
      If they get non-ASCII input, for example UTF32, they
      convert input from UTF32 to ASCII, and then use ASCII
      representation to do further processing.
 
 
      3. Now imagine we pass result of a data source of the first type
         to a data destination of the second type.
 
      What happens:
        a. data source converts data from ASCII to UTF32, because
           @@character_set_results wants so and passes the result to
           data destination.
        b. data destination gets UTF32 string.
        c. data destination converts UTF32 string to ASCII,
           because it needs ASCII representation to be able to handle data
           correctly.
 
      As a result we get two steps of unnecessary conversion:
      From ASCII to UTF32, then from UTF32 to ASCII.
 
      A better way to handle these situations is to pass ASCII
      representation directly from the source to the destination.
 
      This is why val_str_ascii() introduced.

  /**
    Check if a partition function is allowed.
 
    @return whether a partition function is not accepted
 
    @details
    check_partition_func_processor is used to check if a partition function
    uses an allowed function. An allowed function will always ensure that
    X=Y guarantees that also part_function(X)=part_function(Y) where X is
    a set of partition fields and so is Y. The problems comes mainly from
    character sets where two equal strings can be quite unequal. E.g. the
    german character for double s is equal to 2 s.
 
    The default is that an item is not allowed
    in a partition function. Allowed functions
    can never depend on server version, they cannot depend on anything
    related to the environment. They can also only depend on a set of
    fields in the table itself. They cannot depend on other tables and
    cannot contain any queries and cannot contain udf's or similar.
    If a new Item class is defined and it inherits from a class that is
    allowed in a partition function then it is very important to consider
    whether this should be inherited to the new class. If not the function
    below should be defined in the new Item class.
 
    The general behaviour is that most integer functions are allowed.
    If the partition function contains any multi-byte collations then
    the function check_part_func_fields will report an error on the
    partition function independent of what functions are used. So the
    only character sets allowed are single character collation and
    even for those only a limited set of functions are allowed. The
    problem with multi-byte collations is that almost every string
    function has the ability to change things such that two strings
    that are equal will not be equal after manipulated by a string
    function. E.g. two strings one contains a double s, there is a
    special german character that is equal to two s. Now assume a
    string function removes one character at this place, then in
    one the double s will be removed and in the other there will
    still be one s remaining and the strings are no longer equal
    and thus the partition function will not sort equal strings into
    the same partitions.
 
    So the check if a partition function is valid is two steps. First
    check that the field types are valid, next check that the partition
    function is valid. The current set of partition functions valid
    assumes that there are no multi-byte collations amongst the partition
    fields.

        * user expects mysql_stmt_param_count() to return 1, not 2 (count is

    is considered an inferior clone of I; I::m_clones contains J.
